Sinking of MV Sewol - Excerpted from Wikipedia Sinking of MV Sewol - Excerpted from Wikipedia, The sinking of MV Sewol (Hangul: 세월호 침몰 사고; Hanja: 世越 號沈沒事故), also referred to as the Sewol Ferry Disaster, occurred on the morning of 16 April 2014, when the passenger/ro-ro ferry was en route (on the way) from Incheon towards Jeju in South Korea. The Japanese-built South Korean ferry sank while carrying 476 people, mostly secondary school students from Danwon High School (Ansan City). The 6,825-ton vessel sent a distress signal from about 2.7 kilometres (1.7 mi) north of Byeongpungdo at 08:58 Korea Standard Time (23:58 UTC, 15 April 2014). In total, 304 passengers and crew members died in the disaster. Of the approximately 172 survivors, more than half were rescued by fishing boats and other commercial vessels that arrived at the scene approximately 40 minutes after the South Korean coast guard. The sinking of Sewol resulted in widespread social and political reaction within South Korea. Many criticized the actions of the captain and most of the crew. Also criticized were the ferry operator and the regulators who oversaw its operations, along with the South Korean government for its disaster response (including the poor showing of the then Korean coastguard) and attempts to downplay government culpability. (to weaken the governmental responsibility) THE SINKING OF MV SEWOL 1 On 15 May 2014, the captain and three crew members were charged with murder, while the other 11 members of the crew were indicted for (be accused of) abandoning the ship. An arrest warrant was also issued for Yoo Byung-eun, the owner of Chonghaejin Marine, which operated Sewol, but he could not be found despite a nationwide manhunt (a nationwide seeking for a guilty man). On 22 July 2014, police revealed that they had established that a dead man found in a field 415 kilometres south of Seoul was Yoo. Foul play was ruled out. Background Sewol at a port in Incheon on March 2014, after modifications had been made. At the time of her purchase by Chonghaejin Marine in 2012, the ship that would come to be known as the Motor Vessel (MV) Sewol was 18 years old and dilapidated (/dɪˈlæp.ɪ.deɪ.tɪd/: old and in poor condition). She was originally named Ferry Naminoue and was operated from 1994 to 2012 as a transport ship for cargo and passengers by the Japanese company A-Line Ferry. According to A-Line Ferry, she did not experience any problems while being operated by the company in Japan. After she was purchased on 8 October 2012, she was registered by Chonghaejin on 22 October 2012 and underwent modifications from 12 October 2012 to 12 February 2013. The modifications were later found to have been based on an illegal redesign of the ship. After the modifications, which included the addition of two floors of passenger space and the expansion of the cargo space, Sewol had her gross tonnage (Total tonnage measurement) increase by 239 tons to 6,825 tons and her persons capacity increase by 116 people for a total of 956 people including the crew. The modifications also resulted in her center of gravity being moved upward by 0.51 m (1 ft 8 in) as well as a left-right imbalance. After the modifications were completed, she underwent investigations by the Korean Register of Shipping including an inclining test, and received the ship inspection certification and the certification for the prevention of sea pollution on 12 February 2013. During the process of approving the modifications, the Register reduced the maximum amount of cargo that could be carried by 1,450 tons to 987 tons, and increased the amount of ballast needed by 1,333 THE SINKING OF MV SEWOL 2 tons, to 1,703 tons. The cargo limits were not known by the Korea Shipping Association, who has the responsibility to manage ferries, or the Korea Coast Guard, who were responsible for overseeing the Shipping Association. The South Korea government's Audit and Inspection Board later revealed that the Register's licensing was based on falsified documents (fake records). After the inspections, 37 tons of marble were further added to the gallery room at the bridge deck located on the back of the ship. Sewol began operations on 15 March 2013. She made three rounds trips per week from Incheon to Jeju, each one-way voyage of 425 kilometres (264 mi) taking 13.5 hours to complete. On 19 February 2014, she received an interim inspection and a periodic inspection from the Register. She had made the round trip a total of 241 times until the day of the incident. Route of Sewol during the last voyage from Incheon to Jeju, the capsizing location marked by the rectangular speech bubble. On 15 April 2014, Sewol was scheduled to leave the port at Incheon at 6:30 p.m., Korea Standard Time. A fog which restricted the visible distance to less than 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) led the Incheon Vessel traffic service (VTS) to issue a low visibility warning around 5:30 p.m., THE SINKING OF MV SEWOL 3 leading the Shipping Association to hold Sewol's departure. The VTS retracted the warning around 8:35 p.m., and the Shipping Association removed the restriction on Sewol's departure after checking the weather conditions with the operator of the Palmido lighthouse and consulting with the Korean Coast Guard. She departed around 9 p.m., and was the only ship to leave port that evening. When she departed, she was carrying 443 passengers, 33 crew members, and a total of 2,142.7 tons of cargo including 185 cars. 325 of the passengers were students on a field trip from Danwon High School and five passengers were of non-Korean nationality. The ship was commanded by 69-year-old Captain Lee Joon-seok, who had been brought in as a replacement for the regular captain. He had over 40 years of experience at sea, and had traveled the route before. He was hired on a one-year contract, with a monthly salary of ₩2.7 million (roughly 2,500 USD). Lee worked with 33 crew members for the journey, of which 19 were irregular, part-time workers.[48] Later investigations discovered problems concerning the state of Sewol at the time of departure. The Safety Investigation Report made by the Korea Maritime Safety Tribunal noted that Sewol at the time of departure was carrying 2,142.7 tons of cargo when its maximum allowance was 987 tons. TIME magazine further noted that the cargo had been improperly secured.[49] The Report also noted that only 761.2 tons of ballast were taken on board, that some ballast tanks had not been properly maintained, and that the last voyage was made without making further adjustments to the ballast during the journey. Kukmin Ilbo reported that Captain Shin, the regular captain of Sewol, had warned the company about the decrease in stability and passenger satisfaction and attributed it to the removal of the side ramp. Captain Shin claimed that the company responded with threats to fire him if he continued his objections. Captain Shin's warnings were also relayed through an official working for the Incheon Port Authority on 9 April 2014, which an official from the company responded to by stating that he would deal with anyone making the claims. The Korea Herald also reported that the captain had requested a repair for the malfunctioning steering gear on 1 April 2014, which was not done. The Daily Telegraph reported that the Korean Register of Shipping had noted in a stability test report dated 24 January 2014 that Sewol had become 'too THE SINKING OF MV SEWOL 4 heavy and less stable after modifications were made.' The New York Times reported that the company budget for the safety training of the crew was $2 USD, which was used to buy a paper certificate. 16 April 2014 Entering the Maenggol Channel (07:30–08:46) On 16 April at 7:30 a.m. (KST), third mate Park Han-kyul and helmsman Cho Joon-ki took over the watch from the previous team. At this point in time, Sewol was heading at a course of about 165 degrees at a speed of about 20 knots, and was operating two radar devices. Around 8:20 a.m. when the ship was about 2-3 miles from entering the Maenggol Channel, Park ordered Cho to change the steering system from autopilot to manual steering. When Sewol arrived at the channel at 8:27 a.m. at a course of around 137 degrees, the wind speed was between 4 and 7 meters per second, the wave height about 0.5 meters, and the visibility good. The Maenggol Channel has strong underwater currents, which necessitate extreme caution (necessarily requires the most the state of being catious) when steering a ship through the channel. At the time of the incident, conditions were calm and Sewol was following a route that was frequently used. While the wider areas of the channel contain rock hazards and shallow waters, they were not in the immediate vicinity of the ship's usual path. While prosecutors and some news organizations including CNN and The Chosun Ilbo labeled Park as being 'inexperienced' based on her unfamiliarity with the channel, the Safety Investigation Report noted that Park had on multiple occasions passed through the channel on another ship.[29]:40 As Sewol approached the fatal turn, breakfast was being served in the cafeteria. Kim Seong-mok, a passenger, later recalled having eaten breakfast right before the incident.

    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision.

Syncretistic Scientism and Dissonant Plausibility Structure: An Analysis of Worldview Orientation Among Generation Zers in South Korea. Humanities and Social Sciences . Vol. 9, No. 1, 2021, pp. 14-26. doi: 10.11648/j.hss.20210901.13 Received : January 6, 2021; Accepted : January 13, 2021; Published : January 25, 2021 Abstract: Generation Z (‘Gen Z’) is the generation of people born approximately between 1995 and 2010 as the children of Generation X (‘Gen X’) who were born between 1965 and 1980. Gen Z is the youngest generation with the older members of its group working in society after finishing formal education. This paper addresses the religious aspects of the Gen Z culture, focusing on the issues of worldview, plausibility structure, and worldview education. It is based on an empirical research project conducted in South Korea in 2020. The research methodology used was a constructivist grounded theory approach involving interviews of 30 people who were either Gen Zers or their religious educators. The study suggests three points concerning the ontological reflection of worldview, epistemological identification through contact points, and educational bridge-making in the mission of worldview education that is devoted to teaching the core and fundamental Christian doctrines about the world and life.

Vessels navigating in Korean waters often come into contact with fishing nets, seaweed farms or other floating aquaculture facility resulting in damage to the fishing gears and facilities. Upon noticing an incident, the owner of the damaged gear or facility (“the fisherman” hereinafter) will contact the Korea Coast Guard, who will launch an immediate investigation and establish whether the vessel involved came into contact with the facility due to negligence or intentional act. The fisherman will then pursue a claim for his financial loss against the Owners of the vessel. The following is the brief summary of the characteristics of commercial fishing activities in Korea, which we hope would be of assistance to the Clubs and the Members. CHAPTER 1. Commercial Fishing in Korea According to the Fisheries Act of Korea, commercial fishing (fishery business) is classified as follows : Set-net fishing Seaweed cultivation Shellfish cultivation Licensed Fishery Business Cultivation of fish or similar Combined cultivation Communal fishing Cooperative cultivation Cultivation in the open sea Fishery business Inshore fishery Coastal fishery Fishery within a demarcated Permitted Fishery Business zone Cultivation in inland sea water Reported Fishery Business Others Page 2 / 11 CHAPTER 2.
